Notes


Son of Gabhran #5. "Columba set aside this feeble prince {Aedhan's older brother, Eoganan], and, acting according to Brehon, or Irish law, which permitted such deviations when the regular heir was a minor, or incapable, he selected Aidan, who had been trained in the institution of Iona, to fill the throne. Seating him on the ' stone of fate,' [1] he solemnly anointed him King of the Scottish Dal Riada, exacting from both monarch and subjects a promise that they would abide in the profession of the Christian faith. Aidan's reign was exceptionally prosperous. ... [2] He was a descendant of the famous Hibernian monarch Niall of the Nine Hostages, A.D. 400, and his descendants continued to occupy the throne 'till the union of the Picts and the Scots in 843." History Of The Scottish Nation Volume 2, Chapter 25. Robert M. Gunn, in his Skye's Scottish History Timeline, designates 606 as the year of the death of King Aidan of Dal Riada. Aidan was the father of Eochaid Buidhe #8. Another son of King Aidan was Arthur macAiden of Dal Riata. See: Arthur (Arturius) Son Of Aidan—King Of The Scots From 574 AD by David Carroll on ElectricScotland.com. For proof of the existence of Arthur, Carroll cites Adamnan's "Life of Columba" (Chapter 8, Prophecy of St. Columba regarding the Sons of King Aidan, which is available on the Celt Corpus of Electronic Texts). Adamnan refers to King Aidan's "three sons, Artur, Eochoid Find, and Domingart." Carroll also cites the Annals of Tigernach for the year 596: "T596.2 Iugulacio filiorum Aedan .i. Bran & Domungort & Eochaid Fínd & Artur, i cath Chirchind in quo uictus est Aedhan, & cath Coraind." . See also: Arturius—A Quest For Camelot: The Irrefutable Historical Evidence Of The Existence Of Arthur and, in PDF format, Arturius—A Quest for Camelot, both by David Carroll. Was this the legendary King Arthur? See: A new theory about King Arthur by Kelly d. Whittaker. In the 10th century edition of the Tripartite life of Saint Patrick, comes the following incident when Saint Patrick went into Dal Riada: "Patrick received welcome in that territory from the twelve son's of Erc; and Fergus Mor, son of Erc, said to Patrick'if thy reverence would, influence my brother in dividing the land I would give it to thee'. And Patrick granted this division to Bishop Olcan in Airthermuighe. Patrick said to Fergus ' Though thy land is not great at this day among thy brothers it is thou who shalt be king. from thee shall descend the kings of this territory for ever and in Fortrenn' and this was fulfilled in Aidan the son of Gabran who took Alba by Force." Dale (570–604).
